As the second edition of the Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme (TEEP) draws near, the organisation is calling on business professionals, executives and entrepreneurs who are passionate about start-up businesses and have a strong desire to help others grow to act as mentors.
The Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme was launched by the Tony Elumelu Foundation on 1st January 2015 to identify 10,000 African entrepreneurs over 10 years, with ideas that have the potential to succeed. The Mentor and Learning Programme is one of the core pillars of The Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme.
The Programme will assemble world class volunteer mentors, from across Africa and globally, who will guide the selected startups towards business success. Mentors will be selected for their demonstrated expertise, passion and alignment to the programme’s vision and mission.
The engagement between each mentor and startup will be developed and sustained within a closed mentorship and online learning portal; where mentors will provide dedicated support to encourage the development and application of entrepreneurial skills in their assigned startup.
The outcome of this comprehensive framework is to develop the identified startups to become successful businesses that will grow and create up to 1 million jobs and contribute $10 billion in revenue to the African economy.
